Erythrodermic [eh-REETH-ro-der-mik] psoriasis is a particularly inflammatory form of psoriasis that often affects most of the body surface. It may occur in association with von Zumbusch pustular psoriasis. It is a rare type of psoriasis, occurring once or more during the lifetime of 3 percent of people who have psoriasis. It generally appears on people who have unstable plaque psoriasis. This means the lesions are not clearly defined. Widespread, fiery redness and exfoliation of the skin characterize this form. Severe itching and pain often accompanies it.
Individuals having an erythrodermic psoriasis flare should see a doctor immediately. This form of psoriasis can be life-threatening.
Erythrodermic psoriasis "throws off" the body's chemistry. This causes protein and fluid loss that can lead to severe illness. Edema (swelling from fluid retention), especially around the ankles, may develop, along with infection. The body may not be able to maintain its temperature. This can produce shivering episodes. Erythrodermic psoriasis also can bring on pneumonia and congestive heart failure. People with severe cases often require hospitalization. Erythrodermic psoriasis can occur abruptly at the first signs of psoriasis or it can come on gradually in people with plaque psoriasis. The reason erythrodermic psoriasis appears is not understood. However, there are some known triggers.
Initial treatment usually includes medium-potency topical steroids and moisturizers combined with wet dressings, oatmeal baths and bed rest. You also may be prescribed antibiotics. It is important to restore and maintain fluids in the body. Other treatments include:
Once the erythrodermic psoriasis flare passes, the psoriasis usually reverts to the way it looked before the flare. Some health care providers may prescribe pain medications, as this is an especially painful condition. Medication for itch, anxiety or sleep may also be prescribed if appropriate.

Houston >Food & Dining > Pappas Bros. Steakhouse
5839 Westheimer, Houston, TX | Directions 7705729.737067 -95.481111
Cocktail lounge opens 4 PM daily.
Dinner 5:00 PM-10 PM Mon-Thu
Dinner 5:00 PM-11 PM Fri & Sat
Neighborhoods: Woodlake/ Briar Meadow, Westside
Pappas Steakhouse has great tasting food, that is consistently good time after time. Anytime we've visited this establishment over the years we can always depend on having good service, good food, and good drinks. So, if you are in the mood for a great steak dinner they are always an excellent choice!
What else can you say about Papas that hasn't been said? Yes, it's pricy but it's delicious! I can't remember an entree or a side dish that I haven't enjoyed, and I can't wait to go back.
Good Eats – It was a great experience, friendly staff and tasty food.
Manager needs more training – We love the food even though it is pricy. This is not the first time we dine at Pappa's steak house however I am very disappointed with a smart alick manager by the name of Pete, a ball headed young man that treated me with disrespect by making passes at my wife & lude remarks when I went to the bathroom. The owners of Pappa's Steak house should know about this young man and they should make sure they hire well manered and respectful managers.
We are repeat clients and should not be subjected to this type of behavior.
The BEST – I'm going to keep it short and simple for you...
Looking for a nice steak dinner? (and don't mind dishing out some cash?)
Pappas is the place for you! Expensive, yes, but SO worth it.
I've been here several times and the quality never wavers. The food is AMAZING, doesn't matter WHAT you order, it will be good. I used to absolutely hate any form of seafood, i ate their crab cakes and now i'm a crab cake lover....but only from pappas ;).
the waiters are very well trained, friendly and wait on you hand and foot.
got to pappas! i love this place!
One of My Favorite Places in Houston – Pappas Steakhouse certainly knows how to get it right. I've been quite a few times over the past years, and their quality never changes. From corporate luncheons to evening dinner service and even for Houston Restaurant Week, the excellent food and service never varies. Whatever you order, you'll be happy because everything is wonderful! I especially recommend the macaroni and cheese as a side. The wine selection is impressive, and the handcrafted cocktails divine. Whether booking a business lunch or date night, you can't go wrong with Pappas.
Great – From Salad to Desert, it is simply the best.
Outstanding Service!!! – We went this past Saturday night with some out of town guests. The service was outstanding! Server knew a lot about the taste and flavor of the food. The special of evening was some kind of corn chowder with lobster. OMG! It was heaven!!! Everything was really good, considering the company I was with at our table got a little tipsy, and was loud and very rude. The server was outstanding!!! I would def. return, just with a different group.
great scenery and great scallop bacon-wrapped appetizer – the steak was good not great as Perry's or Capital Grille. The lobster was not good at all- flavor bland and needed something else...not worth the money. but the appetizer was good. will go again to give it another try.
Love, Love, Love this place – This is by far THE best steakhouse in Houston, bar none. I have been to them all - trust me! If I want a phenomenal steak and excellent service with an elegant atmosphere then it is Pappas no question about it.
Try the Ribeye with Blue Cheese on top - to die for!
I love this place and highly recommend it. Do not even waste your time with the Palm Restaurant, Perry's, Vic n Anthony's or for sure not Flemings - Pappas blows them all out of the water.
great experience – A night to be remembered. I have eaten at steakhouses in many states and overseas, and Pappas is the best I have had. The steak just melted in my mouth. The appetizers were amazing (I tried the crab cakes, mac and cheese bake with lobster, and bacon wrapped scallops). Dessert was unique and delicious as well. In addition to the great food and infinite drink list, the service was outstanding. They treated me like I was the only guest in there even though they were packed. My wine glass never got below half before it was topped off and the manager took time to greet us and chat a bit with us. The best steakhouse I have ever been to.

Knee Replacement Surgery
Recent technological advances have opened a new chapter in knee implants.
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital now offers a first-of-its-kind joint replacement that combines the natural shape, motion, and stability of the human knee with low-friction material.
Your knee is a hinge joint, but it does not swing like a simple door hinge. It has a complex rotational element that you don't notice is there—but many patients know when it's not there after knee replacement surgery.
Unlike other knee implants, this new implant was designed with sophisticated computer models to reproduce the original internal shapes and angled forces of the human knee through its full range of motion—accommodating the swing-and-rotate of the joint with the same engineering principles your real knee currently uses. In addition, we employ a state-of-the-art surgical navigation system that allows us to customize the most precise fit.
This means you may now regain your natural feeling stride after knee replacement surgery.
This unique, high-performance implant is the only one that restores the stabilizing function of your ACL and PCL.
For more information, please contact us at 1-888-MD-RWJUH.

Poster Session~ The Truth About "Infertility" ~ A Holistic Approach to Pre-Conception
Infertility reflects one or more systemic imbalances, and can be shifted naturally by employing a holistic approach to healing. I will detail one such approach, which attends to physical, emotional, and mental aspects of infertility, and draws heavily on exploring the emotional underpinnings that contribute to a person's physical symptoms. This presentation will discuss five common emotional/mental themes that impede an ease-filled conception, how clients are led through releasing both the physical and emotional stress associated with infertility or miscarriage struggles, the implications of strain during conception on future parent/child dynamics, and how resolving conception-related difficulties is an imperative step to setting up healthy physical and psychological foundations prenatally for both parents and baby.

Hot sauces that not only scorch your taste buds, but actually taste good! Made with the best hand selected ingredients.
This project is the result of my love for food and hot sauce. Four out of five times, I add hot sauce to my food. The times I don't is because the food is already spicy. The problem is that not all hot sauces go well with the food I am eating. Frank's is child's play. Tabasco is too acidic for certain foods. Dave's is all heat and no flavor. Cholula only works well with Taco Bell. And Sriracha? Well, I can't compete with that because it's perfect. But sometimes I find myself putting Sriracha on everything and I look for alternatives. This is where I come in. I have been making hot sauces and salsas for a while but I want all of you to taste them as well. I have selected five sauces that I feel are some of my best and will share them with you. All of them have the right amount of heat for the flavor because flavor is definitely more important than burning your butthole off. So pledge away so I can fund making sauces for everyone! (Flavors and other information are on the updates)

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A University of Utah-led study for treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (A-fib) provides strong clinical evidence for the use of 3-D MRI to individualize disease management and improve outcomes.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140205/DC59634LOGO)
Results of the Delayed-Enhancement MRI Determinant of Successful Radio-frequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation (DECAFF) study will be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia, or an irregular heartbeat, that is a major cause of stroke, heart failure and death. For treatment, doctors have mostly relied on drugs, or more recently, on catheter ablation. Despite those two treatment options, outcomes remain mediocre mainly due to poor patient selection, says Nassir F. Marrouche, M.D., founder of the U's interdisciplinary Comprehensive Arrhythmia Research & Management Center (CARMA) and associate professor of internal medicine at the University's School of Medicine. "We've been treating A-fib based on patients' symptoms, duration of arrhythmia and associated co-morbidities. Instead we should be integrating the diseased, fibrotic heart tissue itself into our management plan."
"Every cardiologist in the world knows that A-fib and atrial tissue disease are intertwined. But, until recently, we have been lacking noninvasive tools to define this relationship," he says. "We at CARMA have developed a significant breakthrough in the way A-fib is managed."
The DECAFF study built on innovative work from CARMA, which invented the technology enabling heart tissue imaging with MRI. With these images, physicians can assess the extent of the disease using a novel staging system similar to the ones developed for cancer. "This is a major step for individualizing arrhythmia management."
Conducted in partnership with 15 major medical centers across the United States, Europe, and Australia, Marrouche's landmark study demonstrated that the amount of atrial injury can effectively predict whether patients were likely to benefit from A-fib catheter ablation procedure. Using the enhanced MRI and the Utah Staging System, the hearts of 329 patients were scanned and staged on a scale of 1-4 before undergoing ablation and procedure outcomes were assessed at follow-up.
What Marrouche and his worldwide study partners found reflected early published findings from CARMA at the U of U: that those with less extensive fibrotic tissue had a greater chance of responding to ablative treatment.
According to the data, patients with less than 10 percent left atrial wall fibrosis (Utah Stage 1) showed good outcomes with ablation therapy while those with greater than 30 percent fibrosis (Stage 4) experienced significantly higher failure rates.
Marrouche believes the study findings will encourage a shift in the way physicians treat patients with atrial fibrillation, specifically by integrating MRI into their A-fib management protocols.
"MRI scanning of heart tissue is more and more becoming a screening test to predict people at risk for arrhythmias and its associated complications like stroke and heart failure," he says. He also believes atrial disease-causing arrhythmias should be screened for just like cancers and other common diseases.

TALLAHASSEE -- Slapping an Internet high-five to my impressionable young sidekick, Brendan Bures, for this one. As we get set for the start of men's basketball practices at Florida State, he has has us all squared away with quite an impressive preseason preview.
("Seminole Madness" aka the old "Jam with Ham" is at 7 p.m. Friday night at the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center. The Seminoles will have a dunk contest, 3-point shooting contest and other events to introduce themselves to fans who attend the free festivities)
Sure, you know the major story lines and headlines: FSU won the ACC for the first time in school history last season; the Seminoles lost six seniors in the offseason; due to changes in size, they've altered their offensive scheme a bit; guard Michael Snaer has called himself the best player at his position in the country; every ACC team not named FSU -- it seems -- is getting love from publications far and wide.
Once again, the Seminoles find themselves playing role of underdog junkyard dogs.
That's exactly the way coach Leonard Hamilton likes it.
While you may know the major story lines and know a thing or two about the key returning players, you likely know very little about the freshmen and transfers who are joining the program this season. That's where Brendan has you covered. Check out this impressive rundown of what to expect from the eight newcomers this season:
By Brendan Bures | Orlando Sentinel correspondent
Not often does a college basketball team boast a total of six senior players on its roster, much like Florida State did last year. The experience helped make up for any lack of talent on the team. In order to win their first ACC Championship last year, the Seminoles relied on their usual aggressive defense and leadership from their large group of veterans.
But now, nearly all of them are gone. There are no more mature, veterans to the program sitting on the bench. There is no more Bernard James in the low post, using his long, shot-blocking arms to eliminate any defensive mistake. There is no more Deividas Dulkys, the 3-point shooter who could get hot at any minute.
The question this year for the Seminoles is this: will any of that really matter?
"Last year we had an experienced team with six seniors. This year the bulk of our team will be inexperienced players," coach Leonard Hamilton said. "The good news is that we have some veterans returning that have (a lot) of experience."
One of those veterans, Michael Snaer, has stated he believes this teams is more talented than the year previous.
As has become custom with Hamilton-led teams, the eight newcomers have each taken a unique route on their way to Tallahassee. In anticipation of "Seminole Madness" (7 p.m., Friday, Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center), the Chopping Block is introducing the eight, new players prepared to contribute for the Seminoles this year. Seminole Madness will include a 3-point contest, dunk contest and open scrimmage.
Without further ado, we present (in alphabetical order) the group we'll call "Florida State Excellent Eight."
Devon Bookert, Guard, Fr., 6-foot-3
FSU's first Alaskan player may also be one of the most "pure" point guard talents the Seminoles have had in the Hamilton Era. FSU was the only East Coast school that recruited Bookert, and there's good reason why Hamilton made the effort. Bookert's current build reminds coaches of current NBA All-Star Chris Paul when he first entered Wake Forest. Bookert likely will come off the bench this season to spell potentially starting point guard, junior Ian Miller.
With Miller training at one of the wing positions this offseason, though, there is a chance that Bookert's development could get him on the court sooner rather than later. Consider this from Jon Rothstein, CBS Sports' college basketball insider: "Don't be surprised if this first-year floor general (Bookert) is the starter from Day 1 for the Seminoles with Michael Snaer and Ian Miller on the wings."
Boris Bojanovsky, Center, Fr., 7-foot-3
There are three 7-foot basketball players on FSU's roster this year and Boris Bojanovsky is the tallest of them. He also is the tallest men's basketball player in FSU history with his 7-foot-3 frame. Hamilton's big men are generally long, strong and like to get the hard-hitting, body-checking friction on in the paint with opposing post players. While he arrived a little undersized from a weight standpoint, coaches are optimistic Bojanovsky, along with fellow 7-footers Kiel Turpin and Michael Ojo, will continue that trend.
One interesting note about Bojanovsky: he's friends with FSU football's starting right tackle Menelik Watson. Although Watson is several years older than Bojanovsky, the two played for the same European basketball academy before coming to the States. Watson actually earned a scholarship at Marist to play basketball before he ever put on a football helmet. The Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain trained both play Seminoles.
Montay Brandon, Guard, Fr., 6-foot-7
According to Hamilton, Brandon has the ability to play the one position (point guard), the two (shooting guard) or the three (small forward). His height and range offers the coaching staff the type of versatility Hamilton has long craved from his players. Brandon's exact role will likely develop as the season progresses, but right now, Hamilton thinks he can contribute primarily at the point along with Bookert.
"I do like the potential of our youngsters, Devon Bookert and Montay Brandon, along with Ian (Miller)," Hamilton said. "It gives us a kind of three-headed point guard situation. "Hopefully, we'll be able to use that to our advantage by keeping them fresh and moving them around to take advantage of matchups."
Robert Gilchrist, Forward, Jr., 6-foot-9
Robert Gilchrist seems like a too-good-to-be-true, genuine a fit for FSU. His 7-foot-3 wingspan could be difficult for opposing offenses to pass around. Last year, he played at Polk State College. Gilchrist's freshman season, the school that led the Suncoast Conference in scoring defense by allowing 62.2 points per game.
In addition to that, he has a unique past (another apparent must for incoming Seminoles). Gilchrist, a native of London, England, considered himself a soccer player until he spent one summer with family in New Jersey and attended former New Jersey Nets star Jayson Williams' basketball camp. Since then, his life has been about dribbling and passing with his hands; not his feet.
Joell Hopkins, Forward, Soph., 6-foot-6
Riding the express route from Tallahassee Community College to FSU, Joell Hopkins joined the Seminoles as a walk-on. Following James' path, Hopkins utilized his time at TCC to mature into a more well-rounded player before joining ACC play.
"He thrived in the sixth man role for the Eagles and brought versatility to the forward position, playing both on the perimeter and in the low post," TCC coach Eddie Barnes said.
Michael Ojo, Center, Fr., 7-foot-1
By now, you've probably heard about just how big Ojo appears. Words barely do him justice. He's built sturdy like a tree trunk at his base and has the wingspan of a Pterodactyl.
"It's insane," junior forward Terrance Shannon said. "It's ridiculous. It's like Solomon (Alabi's) height and he's more muscular and bigger than Jon Kreft. ... Put together."
Ojo is considered the most raw player of the newcomers and might be headed toward a redshirt year depending on his development. Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Ojo has only began playing basketball within the last few years. That may sound familiar. Until picking up basketball while serving in the Middle East, James followed a similar playing arc. This summer, the service member who was once a raw specimen turned into a top talent who was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks.
Aaron Thomas, Guard, Fr., 6-foot-5
When Snaer, considered the best player on the team, wants to take a player under his wing and claim him as a protégé, that means that person is doing something right. It certainly helps if that player has a little talent, too.
"If you take any guard we have last year and put them up one-on-one against Aaron Thomas, it's over. Aaron's going to win," Snaer said. "He's talented, he's got that."
Thomas will provide instant offense off the bench for the 'Noles, assuming the role Miller did last year as the backcourt sparkplug ready to turn on his energetic play at any moment. Thomas' one area of concern might be his defensive abilities. Playing for Hamilton might change that.
"(Hamilton) does get on us about defense. He could care less about offense," Thomas said. "As long as you play defense and be a team player, everything else will fall in place."
Kiel Turpin, Center, RS Jr., 7-foot-0
All Turpin seems to do is win. He is a virtual college basketball equivalent of former Auburn/Florida/junior college quarterback Cam Newton. Turpin won two junior college national titles in back-to-back years at Lincoln College and while he redshirted last year, he was part of the FSU's ACC Championship team. Turpin valued his time redshirting, preparing him to start at center this year.
"I pretty much got beat up every day starting at the first day of practice," Turpin said. "I came back with bruises and stuff. It was a good experience. I needed to get used to the physicality of the ACC."
We'll see just how ready Turpin and the rest of the 'Noles are to defend their ACC title this season. They aim to become the first ACC team outside of the state of North Carolina to win the conference in back-to-back years.

Are you looking for resources and strategies to help your students address the impacts of Hurricane Sandy and help them understand hurricanes in general? Please share a resource or strategy that you have successfully used or plan to use here.
Hi Justina,
Science NetLinks has a bunch of resources that focus on weather and some focus on hurricanes in particular. Our collection on the Science of Weather focuses on different types of weather and the natural forces that cause them. Also, our collection on Hurricanes helps teachers and students learn more about hurricanes, wind, and other weather.
Renee Stockdale-Homick
That's great Renee. Do you have any information specific to Hurricane Sandy?
The hub for ReadWriteThink's resources on hurricanes is our calendar entry in August on Katrina:
The tropical storm that became Katrina formed over the Bahamas in 2005.
That entry includes links to 5 weather-related lesson plans, has web links to some relevant sites, and a classroom activity that asks students to explore weather-related and other natural disasters that their geographical area is prone to and review emergency preparedness and procedures.
One of our more popular weather-related resources is the grades 3-5 lesson Exploring Cause and Effect Using Expository Texts About Natural Disasters.In this activity, students explore the nature and structure of expository texts that focusing on cause and effect and apply what they learned using graphic organizers and writing paragraphs to outline cause-and-effect relationships. (It's a great STEM activity too.)
I don't know if this has been covered, but Scholastic has developed a page with links to what they are calling "Storm Recovery Resources."
My students and I followed Hurricane Sandy through the use of www.weather.com/ The Weather Channel provided pictures, videos, and map of the hurricane. During each class period, I had a few students who shared their interest in the hurricane and weather in general.
Nat Geo Education has a whole collection dedicated to hurricane education. The collection includes different activities, interactives, maps, photos & more for you to use in class discussions. Check it out: hurricanes - National Geographic Education.
